Vaiya

Remnant Light

Remnant Light is atmospheric and ritualistic black metal recommended for fans of Wolves in the Throne Room, Panopticon, Alda, and Fauna.

Vaiya is the solo project of Encircling Sea’s R. Allen, founded for the express purpose of channelling ritual energy through music. Vaiya's thrid album Remnant Light is an aggressive ritual banishment of the darkest aspects of the ego. A progression upward toward the light and away from that which drags us down. Told through three thirteen minute tracks, 'Remnant light' seeks to exalt the journey toward bliss and repel the darkness that aims to destroy true being.

"Taking the fury of the second wave as a starting point, this is expanded upon with ambient and acoustic moments that allhelp flesh out the sound of the songs. Fiery speed and blast beats are enhanced with melodic and atmospheric additions, frequently segueing into softer, introspective sections that give the music time to breathe and explore the darker side of life withoutt the distorted malice of the rest of the music." - Wonderbox Metal
